Key Features
- Genuine OEM Valve Construction — Built to the same pressure rating and dimensional spec as the original, ensuring correct seating, porting, and cracking pressure at 3000 PSI.
- Direct OEM Replacement — This valve replaces the original component with no rework needed; ports and mounting align to the existing circuit connections.
- Broad Boom Lift Fitment — Compatible with Genie S-series telescopic booms, TZ trailer-mounted booms, and Z and ZX articulating booms across multiple platform sizes.
- Controlled Load Handling — A counterbalance valve prevents uncontrolled movement under load by holding pressure in the circuit when a hose or fitting fails, keeping boom motion steady and predictable.
A counterbalance valve is a hydraulic pressure-holding valve that prevents a boom or cylinder from drifting or dropping uncontrolled when a downstream line loses pressure. It holds the load in place until an intentional pilot signal from the control circuit releases it, allowing smooth, metered movement. When this valve wears, sticks, or fails, the boom may drift out of position or respond erratically to operator inputs, creating a serious safety concern on any elevated work platform.
